How Does Pardot Integrate with B2B Marketing Analytics?
Connect Pardot (Account Engagement) and B2B Marketing Analytics to see full-funnel performance from anonymous visit to closed-won revenue—using Salesforce-native datasets, dashboards, and attribution.
Pardot integrates with B2B Marketing Analytics (B2BMA) by pushing prospect and campaign data into Salesforce, where managed packages create prebuilt datasets, lenses, and dashboards. With the right connectors and data flows, you can join Pardot engagement (emails, forms, page views, scoring, grading) to Salesforce campaigns, opportunities, and pipeline. This gives you multi-touch attribution, velocity, and ROI reporting so you can see which journeys, assets, and campaigns actually create revenue—not just clicks.
